IKEA

I don't know about you, but I have a love/hate affair with IKEA. Sometimes I really don't like the whole concept. Seeing it in magazines, DIY shows and in every house I so have enough of it sometimes.... but then it is so clever and cheap and it's hard to go in and come out empty handed.

In combination with older things it just always seems to work. These shelves I put up recently are, as the ones on the other site of the wall, from IKEA. The wooden letters from Tutze Home

Wow, what a great source of inspiration I got here from your blog:)Ikea is a big part of my swedish life, naturally:)But it´s so fun to see that it´s useable in so many different interiors.Have a lovely day. Milla

I'm with you on Ikea... both ways. LOL I hate it - then I walk in there and something has to come home with me. I like the wire deer head - THAT is cool - and your shelves, and your table... okay, fine. You busted me - I like it all!

i cant help but be an ikea fan--it's all i can afford fresh outta college! but i think its amazing even if i could get something of higher quality. i love how creatively it can be utilized to make it look so much more than it is.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments on our blog and for making it your favourite Blog of the week!

We are in love with yours! Totally...in fact I brought back a few vintage sheets from France to dye them in soft greys and will definitively use your blog as an inspiration.We've added you to FOU's notebook toohttp://www.bodieandfou.com/fous_notebook

I love little things from IKEA like hanging shelves (PS I have the same ones!), mirrors, little accessories for the garden... but I'm not a fan of the furniture all around. It's nice to mix a few IKEA things with other pieces, exactly how you have done :)

I just love when you give us a peek into your home...it is so lovely.I agree. I hate IKEA, but part of me loves it (so affordable!). I guess that means I love to hate IKEA.P.S. Sweet Desiree - Holy ORANGE!

I know this is an old posting but I must ask you where you got the old Danish beer crate from? I have one stored away somewhere in this house that I got when I was a teenager in the 70's. I really like the way you have gotten everything together so well. Here we don't mind IKEA. :-) Our furniture is an eclectic mix of Danish Design, old "junk" and IKEA. :-)

HI again, I would like to show your work space in my blog, please let me know if you are ok with it and I will link back to your blog.Regards from a rainy LondonMargahttp://chocolatecreative.blogspot.com/
